Real Estate Finance & Investments: 2027 Release

THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER As seen in TIME magazine and on High Performance podcast 'This book could change your life' - Time Out 'A remarkable reflection on values and psychology based on hard-won experience' - Rory Stewart Expert advice to master your potential, from the founder and CEO of Discovery and Vitality. Adrian Gore built a company from a single, bold idea into a global financial group serving over 50 million customers across 37 countries. He didn't just scale a business; he created a whole new shared-value business model, a system so revolutionary it's taught as a case study at Harvard Business School and has been recognized by Fortune magazine as 'changing the world'. In The Four Principles, Gore reveals the framework and guiding principles that powered this success for the first time. Moving beyond standard leadership advice, he explores the behavioural science and 'multiplier effect' that occur when these four principles intersect:<ol><li>Disciplined Optimism: We have a default tendency to seek out negative signals. Learn why choosing optimism is the most rational path to seizing overlooked opportunities.</li><li>Focused Urgency: Why your perceived time to make an impact is shorter than you think. Recognizing this can act as your greatest motivator.</li><li>Declared Goals: Psychologically, avoiding a loss feels twice as important as achieving a gain. Setting bold goals triggers this force, unlocking radical motivation and decisive action.</li><li>The 'Pareto Tail': Building on the other principles, learning to identify and target a few high-power decisions can determine your life's entire trajectory.</li></ol> Gore argues that our instincts, shaped for a simpler, linear world, often mislead us in today's complex, networked age. The Four Principles challenges these outdated mental models and shows you how to harness your potential for truly remarkable results - personally and professionally. 'Demonstrates how to create enduring value' - Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock 'Important reading for those aspiring to leadership or seeking to make an impact on the world' - Lord William Hague, Chancellor of the University of Oxford 'The Four Principles distils decades of leadership and insight into a practical framework that explains what matters - and why' - Sir Mark Tucker, Chairman, AIA Group 'For leaders seeking to create outsized impact' - Ruth Porat, President and CIO of Alphabet and Google

Multiply Your Impact in Life and Leadership

The Four Principles

A lesson-packed success story for the twenty-first century, from a ninth-generation Kentuckian who imported the Silicon Valley playbook to the heartland, revealing how the entrepreneurial mindset can be applied anywhere, and even to our most stubborn industries. In his case: trash. When Nate Morris decided to build a business, he wasn’t looking to disrupt—he was looking for a problem to solve. Morris believed that the bigger the problem, the more the market would reward him for solving it. And one of the biggest problems, he came to believe, was one that every person, business, and community dealt with on a daily basis, but which was often overlooked: waste. American Trash is the moving story of how a ninth-generation Kentuckian—a boy who grew up being called “white trash”—applied the innovative thinking we associate with Silicon Valley startups to the ancient problem of waste. Raised on the scrappy resourcefulness of his grandfather, president of their local autoworkers’ union, Morris built Rubicon, a waste management company powered by digital technology. Unlike the bloated industry titans of yesterday, Rubicon was asset light: It wouldn’t own landfills, so it would be free of the perverse incentive to fill the land with chemical-laden trash, and it wouldn’t own trucks, so it would support “mom and pop” hauler businesses. Most important, it would be based in Georgia and Kentucky, thousands of miles from the near-sighted culture of Silicon Valley. In telling his story, Morris shows how he combined the great tradition of American entrepreneurship with the lessons of the digital economy—and did it far from the coastal bastions of the technology elite. The result is a blueprint for those seeking to tackle our biggest challenges with creative, free-market solutions.

Hard-Earned Lessons from a Heartland Entrepreneur

American Trash

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the Brazilian coffee economy since 1960, one of the most significant yet understudied developments in modern economic history. Moving beyond classic accounts of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century plantation expansion, it traces how Brazil responded to crises through state intervention, technological innovation and institutional reform. Drawing on economic history, development economics and agricultural studies, the authors examine how mechanization, scientific research, crop diversification and shifting regional production patterns reshaped the sector and enabled Brazil to maintain its position as the world’s leading coffee producer.Situating Brazilian coffee within global commodity chains and changing patterns of consumption, the book explores the transition from a state-controlled system to a competitive, market-oriented agribusiness embedded in global trade networks. It also highlights the emergence of new production frontiers and value-added industries, including roasting and soluble coffee. By combining regional analysis with a broader political economy perspective, this study provides a vital contribution to debates on agricultural modernization, export-led development and globalization in Latin America. It will be valuable reading for scholars in economic history, Latin American studies, agricultural economics and global development.&nbsp;Herbert S. Klein

Lessons on Building a Beautiful Life

Still Bobbi

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

The Emergence of an Arab Global Business

Out of the Middle East

A gripping and entertaining memoir that shines a rare light on an industry that is disrupting our lives. Veteran Morgan Stanley banker Alok Sama thought he'd seen it all. Then he found himself chief dealmaker at the most influential technology investor in the world-SoftBank, the backer of Arm Holdings, Yahoo, Nvidia, TikTok, Uber, T-Mobile, Alibaba and WeWork. The Money Trap is Sama's thrilling, stranger-than-fiction personal odyssey featuring his experiences alongside SoftBank's iconic founder, Masayoshi Son, a visionary maverick who wants to be remembered as "the crazy guy who bet on the future" and whose mission is "happiness for everyone." Sama takes the reader on a wild journey as he consorts with A-list CEOs and heads of state, and negotiates mega-deals on a Gulfstream jet, Son's sanctuary with its exquisite Japanese garden, and a waterside restaurant in the Turkish Riviera-all while contending with a mysterious dark-arts smear campaign that takes a toll on his private life. This fascinating and humorous saga provides a unique insider perspective on the insanity of high finance and venture investing. Written with self-deprecating wit, unflinching honesty and searing introspection, The Money Trap is ultimately a morality tale: in life, as in technology investing, more money isn't always the answer.

The Ripple Effect

Every object has a story to tell...Fine art. Priceless jewels. Museum-worthy masterpieces. In 1970s New York, the auction world was a velvet-rope affair--until Arlan Ettinger crashed the party.With his wife, Barbara, Arlan launched Guernsey's, a scrappy, anything-goes auction house that turned the industry on its head. Forget Old Masters--Guernsey's sold the unexpected, the irresistible, the downright bizarre. Doors from the legendary Chelsea Hotel. The entire contents of the SS United States. Personal treasures from JFK. If it had a story, Guernsey's could sell it--and suddenly, everyone wanted in.Part business adventure, part cultural time capsule, this is the story of the auction house that proved you don't need millions to own a piece of history--you just need curiosity, a sense of humor, and a willingness to see value where others don't. Because the real magic isn't just in what things are worth--it's in what they mean. A door, a suitcase, a scrap of paper: objects carry the lives, legends, and moments that shaped us. This book is a celebration of that invisible thread between people and things--and the surprising, often joyful ways our stories live on through what we leave behind.
